Aug 05, 2013

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech’s Purple Pride
Caravan makes two stops this week, passing through Livingston on
Tuesday and McMinnville on Thursday, both at 5 p.m.

This week’s stops mark the halfway point in the caravan
tour, which are planned in communities around the region in
anticipation of upcoming sports seasons. Each caravan is free and
fans can enjoy hot dogs and Pepsi soft drinks, and sign up for a
grand prize drawing.

Tuesday’s stop will be in Livingston, hosted by
Jerry’s IGA. The Purple Pride Caravan will then continue on
to McMinnville Thursday, at the McMinnville Walmart.

Ten stops are planned in communities around the region in
anticipation of the upcoming sports season, and fans are invited to
attend. Every Caravan is free.

Fans who visit the Purple Pride Caravans will have the opportunity
to meet and talk with Tennessee Tech head coaches, enjoy hot dogs
and Pepsi soft drinks, and sign up for a grand prize drawing.

Each event will feature a tailgating atmosphere with coaches,
cheerleaders and Tech mascot Awesome Eagle, and one lucky fan who
registers during the Caravans will win a trip for two with the
Golden Eagles to their Sept. 7 game at the University of
Wisconsin.

As a special feature, 98.5 Kiss FM (the home of Golden Eagle
football broadcasts) will be registering people at each of the
stops. One grand prize winner will receive a TTU/Wisconsin Flyaway
Trip for two, including air travel, hotel accommodations, tickets
to the game and meals.

No winners will be selected below the age of 18. Winner may not be
a high school student-athlete or immediate family member of an
athlete without jeopardizing collegiate eligibility at an NCAA
institution. Complete rules for the contest can be found at the
link below and also are posted on the KissFM985.com website.

Following its stops in Livingston and McMinnville, the Purple
Pride Caravan will also visit Crossville and Cookeville before
wrapping up at the Algood Walmart on Aug. 27, just two days before
the Golden Eagle season opener in Tucker Stadium on Aug. 29.
